About this game
One player is Jack the Ripper stalking through Victorian London using hidden movement while investigators try to track and catch them. Jack moves secretly on a map, leaving clues at certain locations. Investigators use action points to search, patrol, and deduce Jack's path. A streamlined reimplementation of Letters from Whitechapel, playing in about half the time with tighter rules. The cat-and-mouse tension of hidden movement makes every police decision feel critical and every Jack move feel dangerous.
